GK61 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard – 61 Keys Multi Color RGB Illuminated LED Backlit Wired Programmable for PC/Mac Gamer Tactile (Gateron Optical Brown)
GK61 is a standard-sized 60% keyboard featuring RGB backlighting, USB-C wired connection, and optical switches . The USB-C cable is detachable for convenience of portability.
Optical switches are much more durable than conventional mechanical keyboard switches and are rated for 100 million keystrokes.
They have a high actuation point of 1.5mm for fast response. Light Strike optical switches utilize a horizontal infrared beam which is transmitted across the width of the inner keyswitch.
The infrared beam is normally blocked from reaching a sensor across from it by the stem. Once a switch is pressed, the switch stem no longer blocks the infrared beam and the beam is detected by the sensor, which activates the switch.
Due to the optical mechanism, an optical switch has an extremely fast response time of 0.2ms, which means faster reactions in those times where timing is critical, such as when gaming.

O produto timo e super rpido e o software muito bom eu tenho a verso de yellow switches que chegou muito rpido o nica defeito que o som dos swirches muito alto
Il prodotto di un buon materiale e il rapporto qualit prezzo ottimo.
Currently writing this on my GK61 with silver switches which I have used for about a month now, the keeb is great, mine came pre lubed and sounds alright stock. The main issue I have is the tacky software, which feels like a very unexperienced person put up in 10 minutes. Its extremly buggy, and I found it was difficult to manuever. Other than that, the layout may be difficult to adapt to, as it uses an American ISO Layout.
Just needs a little lube, little scratchy but pretty good, app also needs some work
MY SON BOUGHT THIS FOR HIS GAMING SYSTEM….WORKS VERY WELL.
I brought for my daughter, she says it’s very responsive and has a quality build.
It’s a really nice keyboard, especially if you are new to mechanical keyboards, I recommend getting a set of keycaps like I did, the stock ones aren’t as good as some other ones you can get, overall great keyboard
Affordable price, everything as described, trouble-free installation. Everything’s all righ
Me gust,, es cmodo y era lo que yo esperaba.
Ive had this keyboard for over a year now and nothing has gone wrong its relieable and feels great, my only problem are the screws be careful they strip easy.
El teclado es muy cmodo, chiquito y funciona muy bien,lo recomiendo.
This Keyboard Is Very Good Gor The Price It Is Okay And It Is Good At Typing And Gaming, The Switches Feel Good And Smooth, This Keyboard Is Not Height Adjustable But Angle They Give Is Good And Isn’t Annoying But This Could Be Different To Other People. My Biggest Problem Is That The RGB Software Is Terrible And Not Good At All It Is Very Basic And For The Price You Are Paying This Is Something Basic You Would Expect So Do Not Buy This. Instead Buy A GK61 From The Brand Epomaker Skyloong As It Is The Same Keyboard But With Good RGB Software And Quite Literally The Same Keyboard As This One But Just With Different Switches (Maybe)
And Better RGB Software And That Keyboard Can Be Found On Their Website Or Amazon. This Keyboard Would Have Been Better If It Had Better RGB Software Or If It Had A Lower Price.

Check the video I submitted as I show how the program works and my favourite settings. Absolutely nothing I’d change about it. High quality with a nice click, perfect colour and simply to use. I got the UK one but it also comes in DE and US.
To get the software on Windows search “www.hk-gaming.com” and the second website titled “download” from there select in the GK61 column, “S/N Starting with: GK61US” (you can change it to UK by doing what I show in the video, changing what different keys mean). Click “download (v1.1_0113)” and name it + put it in your files. Once downloaded open the file and it will bring you to Microsoft store where you press “install anyway” It will ask you for your pin, it’s completely safe don’t worry. Type in your pin and once it loads it will ask you for your preferred language. And in this order press “next, choose where the file goes, next, name the file, next, install, finish” open the program and from there I show you in the video.
Hope this helps! Byeeee
Das richtige fr gamer Klein kompatibel und Reaktionsschnell.
Hatte vor der gk61 eine logitech G pro Tastatur mit blauen klingende Schalter ich fande es schrecklich. Es war Laut und war nicht angenehm zum zocken. Jetzt habe ich die gk61 bin braunen Schaltern und ich finde tie Tastatur einfach geil. Wrde sie mir wieder hole
Great to the touch right size for gaming Great value
very good keyboard and rgb is good and there is alot of modes
Great product, my son is very particular and he is very happy with i
his product works really good for the price! not a waste of money at all!
Bought for my 11 year old to use in conjunction with his Xbox. It is perfect, good size and very hard wearing considering how vigorously the keys are used! According to him it’s easy to use and set up. It was a good buy and reasonable price!
Bought for my son to replace his disastrous first choice and this one has stood up well to many hours of gaming. Very pleased.

Essendo una 60%, per usare le freccette direzionali si deve usare il tasto FN, di fianco alla freccetta destra: ci vuole abitudine, dopo un’oretta mi sto abituando. Anche per gli accenti bisogna imparare ad usare FN,
cos come per gli apostrofi.
Per latex, o se comunque usate tanto parentesi quadre e graffe e slash, davvero oro.
I miei tasti sono completamente opachi, in altre versioni di lato sono lucidi, meglio cos.
Avrei preferito che i segni sui tasti fossero trasparenti come lo sono i numeri, le lettere e la punteggiatura, o l’invio, anche se li uso pochissimo.
Il software davvero grezzo, ma il suo lo fa. Si deve solo imparare ad usarlo, la personalizzazione degli rgb semplice (selezionate il colore e poi colorate i tasti che volete), gli effetti di luce sono molteplici anche se io non li uso onestamente e sono attivabili anche senza software.
La tastiera davvero solida, non si muove facilmente, i tasti non ballano se scuotete la tastiera.
Ho preso gli optical brown, la notte sono abbastanza rumorosi (di giorno non me ne ero reso conto) ma da ex-possessore di tastiera a membrana sono piacevoli da usare.
Nella confezione arrivata la tastiera con cavo usb c, foglio con i vari layout che ti aiuta a identificare il tuo, e i due aggeggi per togliere i tasti e gli switch.
This keyboard is a great option for anyone looking to get a mechanical keyboard, it is a great option for its price tag. It is also a 60% board which is great because it takes up less desk space while it still has the crucial arrow keys.
spacebar is the best bit. The thoccy sound does not make me regret buying this at all.
I got GOB switches with this keyboard and I love it! it’s perfect for gaming on my ps4, until I get a pc!
